    I did not know bees were so uniquely complicated. This definitely is because they are so bright and ‘intelligent’ . I will NEVER look at a jar of honey the same way again. Thank you for sharing.

I sincerely thank both of you ladies for allowing us to come along while you tend to these hives and for sharing some of your vast knowledge of beekeeping.

    Not many people realize how important that the bees are. That was so fun to watch, wouldn’t do it, but love watching someone else do it. That was a lot of bees!! I’m sure you will be getting a abundance of honey soon. I really need to find some honey made in my area because they say it will help with allergies. Stay safe, don’t let them get you again!!❤❤❤

    • @susichristianson3395
      @susichristianson3395 Год назад

      To find local honey you can check out your farmers markets. If there’s no keeper selling honey ask other vendors. They probably will know of someone. And yes if it’s local it does help with allergies from local pollen. Good luck.🐝

    Have you guys thought of planting clover near the hives? Like Berseem Clover? I believe they bloom in winter (down South) which could help the bees? And it looks nice all year around even if it's dry out the clover stays green :)

    When i was young, maybe 6 or 7 i had a uncle at the time that raised hunny bees. He would break off a piece of the comb and give a small piece to chew on.I loved it! He also claimed that his bees didn't sting and would carry them around on his hand. He could not get me to do it though. Made some fun memories with him.

    It's also been used as a treatment for arthritis.

    Jujubes are fantastic no matter which stage you harvest them from fresh to completely dried and they help fight prostate cancer.

    My dad would never have separated that hive. Not enough honey production to feed it until it develops properly. Their own produced honey is healthier than sugar water. Dad always said if having to feed sugar water to bees constantly setting them up for disease and parasites. Have to leave enough honey for them to make it through the winter AND beginning spring if you want the bees to increase the young. He always had a super for young and at least a super for honey. Never harvested unless one full honey super and another almost full. Harvested the full super. Never just a frame or two. Bees hardly ever swarm if provided enough supers and space to raise young and produce honey. And the Queen healthy. Which you could tell by laying patterns
